Re: Icons in VS .net 2002



Haven't played with this for a while but I believe it's a simple matter to
change the colors used for the transparent regions of an icon in VS. You
should be able to click on the transparent color in the palette or something
like that and it pops up a color dialog, where you could change the
transparent color to something different.

We use an independent icon editor and are just experimenting with icons
for our product. Most of our icons are based around a 'teal' colour (RGB -
128,128,255). However, when we import these icons into Visual Studio and
open them, the icon is lost as Visual Studio uses this colour for the
default background colour. I know you can change the background colour
once an icon is open, but unfortunately it makes most of our icons look
rubbish by chaning the colour of most of the image, not just the
background! We don't want to force the background of our icons to be
white, because not everyone uses white as a document colour. The question
really is - how can we change the background colour in visual studio
before opening an icon?
